You’re clueless if you think the blame lies with Rafa. When given money last season, he did exactly what was needed and bought quality players who were perfect for the league we were in. Ritchie, Clark, Hayden and Gayle all superb. And this summer with the pittance he got he has signed Murphy who is coming good and Merino who will prove to be a snip. Admittedly the less said about Joseloo the better but he cannot be expected to things right all the time

We might have a better chance of winning games if Rafa started some of our best player’s instead of them bench warming. Also what’s with all the late response to making subs. We probably are the weakest squad in the premier league down to MA but Rafa ain’t helping.

Now fat Sham is a legend in his own head I dispise the balloon head if ever a bloke gets a name for mediocrity its him he can not take a team forward. His buys for us Cacapa Smith A Faye Rosenall total crap .England manager what a joke Hope we can do the business .

Posada Hindsight wonderful thing maybe Rafa should of sent on Lascalles half way through the second half because our defence was s mess and needed someone to organise bollock them As I put this morning we are like a jigsaw puzzle Lots of bits, half built, bits missing, partly built, bits in wrong places and a manager trying to build it

Jazzy I can see the lack of investment being part of this yes. Particularly if you don’t have a goal scorer. The players will get it into their heads that however hard they work they can’t win as we won’t score. That is part of it I think. Confidence goes down and the effort etc goes. Thing is though I’m starting to see bad things. lack of effort, not caring. Just as it was pre Rafa when lascelles made his now famous no-one gives a fig comment during a game.

Every deed for Land needs to be signed in wet ink for the Land Registry to accept it.

Those who say E-Signature suffices are correct, it does suffice in every way legally thanks to the Electronic Communications Act 2000, however Land Registry still run a system which needs wet ink. Land Registry are currently trialling a database for online transfers and are looking to roll out the system next year (that means you can buy a house from the comfort of your own home).

So for those saying the lawyer is going out there to get a signature it is entirely possible.

Colback – written off. Mitro – never trusted. Ritchie – they say he fell out with Rafa on sat gone. Shelvey – if he can’t get in that team perhaps they have fallen out as well. Gayle – tried to sell him and then didnt pick him.

It’s not a happy ship I don’t think. Not the well organised team spirit stuff of just a few weeks ago.

Yes, I am guessing. But if something swims on a pond, it quacks, has feathers and a bill I normally assume it’s a duck.

I have watched a fair bit of Beardsley in the dugout over the last few years and found him totally lacking he does not coach from the sidelines just seems to go through the motions . He has not improved many we knew about Roberts Barlaser Heardman for years no improvement .His teams have a losing mentality even if they win occasionally they still let 3 or 4 in.When and not if the takeover goes through I hope Beardsley is moved in a ambassador role

Jib An unfortunate own goal. Perhaps. Credit to him for at least getting back. However, look at it on u tube or whatever. Break it down and look at it. Their players make a huge effort to get there. Do ours.

Jazzyp No i don’t think Mitrovic would be our savior, but he’s far better option than sticking with Joselu. I would love to see him and Gayle working as a pair. Most of our best player’s were on the bench against Leicester. Baffled!! Atsu would be first on my team selection when fit.

Charlie Agreed. Lascelles would have been a big call coming back from injury. Leguene is a worry. His lack of pace. Some defenders don’t have that, but their team mates have qualities that make up for it. We have two FBs who are not great defenders and seem to be there for their offensive qualities. Also, there was not much protection infront of him on Saturday.

Posada If you see knackered (min 86) players trying but failing to get back when an attack breaks down as not caring or lack of effort – in the words of the illustrious Mr Tuff perhaps you should try another sport

for me, shelvey has to start against Everton. When he is out of the team we simply look worse. I seen some stats on Merino on the weekends game that were impressive. along the lines of most passes, most takles won, most headers won etc. there was 7-8 things in the list. When watching him I thought he tried hard but didn’t have a great game. funny how stats can give a different picture.

For me I think merino breaks up play better then hayden and would like to see him partner Shelvey. I know not defensively but we need some more creativity in the team. It was nice to see Gayle have a good game as well and would like to see him get a few more

bill I myself would probably mark us down for a defeat myself, if it were on the super 6 I’d have certainly gone for an everton win but thankfully they not part of this mid week super 6 therefore predicting a loss is not needed.

Based on rafa’s team selection in the last few games it’s no suprise really to see so many choosing a defeat, BFS is very defencive minded therefore we’ll find it very difficult on the attack, the amount of attacks we do have could be very low itself looking at how defensive rafa himself has us playing and then of course comes the problem as goal scorer. Joselu himself scored a goal at the week end which means he should have confidence in trying to convert what even chance is given. The other question is our back 4, lascelles himself is our best CB right now and should help improve the defence massively but the question is will rafa actually start him or is he gonna sit on the bench again like he did at the weekend. Also will he consider putting shelvey into the team or is he gonna continue to allow our current set of midfielders to remain on the pitch whilst those could have replaced them are still sitting on the bench.

Of course i think already their is very little chance mitrovic will start and not really that fussed if it were darlow or elliot. What’s really important is we see lascelles, shelvey and atsu all start. Pardew himself was given huge amounts of abuse for not both bothering to play HBA, why should rafa himself not get any abuse when he’s actually leaving atleast 2 of the fans favourite players out of the team

Well I have been reading this blog for a long time and have now decided to put my own thoughts in. Being a season ticket holder for forty years I don’t live to far away from Hibbett. There are some good bloggers on the site and a fair few I dismiss after one line. I have seen a lot over the years home and away . The current squad do put the effort in but if you shop in poundstrechers this is what you get. Ashley has only helped myself as a fan with reasonable ticket prices that’s where it ends. The quicker he goes the better he’s like a leach on the club. All I want to see is my team to be able to compete in the division I enjoyed the championship because we could win. The takeover can’t come quick enough . I will always go to the game no one will ever get myself to boycott any game them so called fans wouldn’t go anyway . Looking forward to put y thoughts over on a regular basis. Ps I do miss Bobbylee thoughts hope he comes back

Posada Nah Perez thought Lejeune was odds on to beat Vardy – he waited in midfield hoping the Frenchman would be launching a ball downfield. When Vardy robbed Lejeune and Okazagi went steaming past him Ayoze did bloody well to get back but unfortunately his attempted clearance ended up in the net

If Ashley is actually in Florida it doesn’t sound that promising. I wonder if Amanda has pulled back and told Mikey that she will re-consider in the summer if we are still in the Prem? I’m thinking this is more and more likely as the days go by now. Still hoping Friday Dec. 15th is the big day though. Another Mikey co#kup underway?

health update

My latest bone scans and CAT scans were completed this week and I met with my oncologist Dr. Dhruva to go over the results.

The stage four cancer remains stabilized and hasn't spread over the last six months.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in early 2017 after being in remission for six years.

There is no cure for stage 4 cancer - but there are treatments which attempt to prolong life.

I am upbeat with the results and remain in awe of the doctors and nurses at the Rex Cancer Center here in Raleigh, North Carolina

It's truly humbling to see how inspiring they are with their patients.

Kacper Tylenda Website Designer

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
